On 17 December 2020 the Panel approved the creation of three new Assistant Director posts: People Commissioning, Adult Social Care and Integration and Service Development, together with the job descriptions and person specifications for these posts.  The Panel also authorised the Strategic Director for People in consultation with the Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Adult Social Care to proceed with the recruitment process for the permanent recruitment to these posts

The recruitment had been paused due to the demand on the People Directorate to respond to the Coronavirus pandemic and also, for this post in particular, for emerging clarity required about the formation of the Integrated Care System.

RESOLVED: that

(a)  the post of Assistant Director for Integration and Service Development be offered to Faye Pemberton-Crow, subject to formal written offer; and

(b)  the Strategic Director for People be authorised, in consultation with the Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Adult Social Care, to settle the detailed terms of the contract.
